Introduction
The AV-HS6000 series 2ME Live Switcher supports plug-in software that can be registered to include
additional functionality.
The following types of plug-in software are available.
AUX_IP*1: Allows you to select AUX output material from a remote control panel (Venetex VS-R45)
connected on the network.
 GVG200*1: Allows you to control GVG200-protocol compliant devices connected to the serial port
(RS-422) on the switcher.
 TALLY *1: Allows you to output tally information in serial communication format compatible with TSL
UMD Protocol V3.1.
 P2_Control: Allows you to connect P2 devices via a serial communication format (RS-422) andcontrol operations such as recording and playback.
 External Control: Allows you to switch buses and transmit/receive material name information
between external devices connected to the network. You can also switch the SourceLink settings(Master/Slave) from external devices.
 CAM_Control: Allows you to perform pan, tilt, preset playback, and other controls for remotecameras connected to the network.
*1) Preinstalled in system version 1.XX.
Registration and Launch Setting
You can register, delete, and set launch settings for plug-in software by pressing the <PLUG IN> buttonin the top menu and selecting [PLUGIN Maint]→[Configuration]/[Load] tab. For details, refer to the
